0:17
Speaker 1: Hello, beautiful beans, and welcome to the podcast Self Love Miniseries.
0:22
Speaker 1: Episode of the Day. Today we're doing self love slash
0:26
Speaker 1: self worth. Okay, so this is obviously a key, key,
0:32
Speaker 1: key pillar of self love. It's how we value ourselves,
0:35
Speaker 1: how worthy we feel, because no matter what anyone says,
0:40
Speaker 1: like it's all well and good to hear those like
0:43
Speaker 1: fucking quotes like you're good enough as you are, you're
0:46
Speaker 1: good enough as you are, But that quote alone isn't
0:48
Speaker 1: going to change shit. It's not gonna help you feel
0:51
Speaker 1: any better. Because at the end of the day, if
0:53
Speaker 1: you can't see where you're worth is where your value lies,
0:56
Speaker 1: and someone's like, oh, you're just good enough, you're not
0:58
Speaker 1: gonna feel good. Okay. We have to value ourselves in
1:03
Speaker 1: order to feel good. And it's not to say that
1:06
Speaker 1: you know, people are more valuable than other people or
1:10
Speaker 1: who It's not about that. It's how can I determine
1:14
Speaker 1: what my worth is and what my value is in
1:16
Speaker 1: order to feel good, Because if you feel worthless and
1:18
Speaker 1: someone's like, but you're good enough, but you're good enough,
1:21
Speaker 1: you're still gonna feel worthless, okay. And if you feel worthless,
1:24
Speaker 1: you don't have self love. Okay, self worth, self love
1:27
Speaker 1: they go hand in hand. It's impossible to have like
1:30
Speaker 1: one without the other. Okay, so we are talking about
1:34
Speaker 1: how to increase your self worth as that is, like
1:36
Speaker 1: I think the number one, if not the the most
1:40
Speaker 1: important precursor to self love. Now, I think we've got
1:43
Speaker 1: like four key points that I want to get through.
1:45
Speaker 1: So the first one is how can I start providing
1:50
Speaker 1: real value for myself and also for the people around me.
1:54
Speaker 1: When I have a day where I feel like I
1:57
Speaker 1: have provided value, I'm going to feel a whole lot better.
2:01
Speaker 1: Because our life does not exist in a vortex. We
2:04
Speaker 1: don't just get up, drink some fucking water, eat a meal,
2:08
Speaker 1: sit down, stare at a wall all day long, and
2:10
Speaker 1: then miraculously just feel so fucking good about ourselves. The
2:14
Speaker 1: times that we feel good about ourselves is when we've
2:16
Speaker 1: done stuff that provide value. Whether it's things to better ourselves,
2:20
Speaker 1: whether it's like I've learned something, I've studied, something I've
2:23
Speaker 1: worked on, something I've worked on a project, I've worked
2:25
Speaker 1: on my health, whether it's I've gone and helped this person,
2:29
Speaker 1: I've I've volunteered for this thing, I've gone to help
2:31
Speaker 1: my friend move. I've gone and been a shoulder for
2:34
Speaker 1: them to cry on. I have, you know, gone and
2:37
Speaker 1: lifted someone's mood by being like the comedian for them
2:39
Speaker 1: for the day. Whatever the fuck it is, You've got
2:42
Speaker 1: to ask yourself, how am I providing real value every
2:46
Speaker 1: single day? Now? Don't get ahead of yourself and don't
2:49
Speaker 1: make it this out of worldly. Oh my god, I
2:51
Speaker 1: need to start a charity kind of shit. Okay, we're
2:54
Speaker 1: talking about realistic today. What can I do where I'm
2:59
Speaker 1: providing real value? A really basic one is go deeper
3:03
Speaker 1: than a surface level interaction with somebody. So if you
3:06
Speaker 1: feel like you know those times where you like feel
3:10
Speaker 1: your friend wants to meet up with you, and you're like,
3:12
Speaker 1: I've just got too much shit to do, maybe i
3:15
Speaker 1: should cancel maybe this, But then you end up hanging
3:17
Speaker 1: out with that friend and then you walk away feeling like,
3:19
Speaker 1: oh my god, my life is so much better, Like
3:21
Speaker 1: I'm so glad I had that interaction. I feel like
3:24
Speaker 1: I've really connected. I feel listened to, I feel heard,
3:28
Speaker 1: I feel like a weight's been lifted off my chest.
3:31
Speaker 1: That shit you could do for somebody else, right, and
3:35
Speaker 1: when you do that for someone else, when you have
3:37
Speaker 1: a deeper level interaction, not just a comment, not like
3:39
Speaker 1: hey or a text or like a quick like genuine,
3:43
Speaker 1: genuine interaction with somebody where you show that you care,
3:47
Speaker 1: that you value them, that you miss them, that you're
3:49
Speaker 1: thinking about them, that you remember a funny story. You
3:52
Speaker 1: already feel like you have provided value. So a simple
3:55
Speaker 1: exercise would be, for example, is to send a friend
3:59
Speaker 1: a message saying they remember the time that you and
4:03
Speaker 1: I did and you bring up a great fucking anecdote
4:06
Speaker 1: of your lives, a funny story, anything, and say that
4:10
Speaker 1: memory comes up every so often and it really makes
4:12
Speaker 1: my day, and I want to thank you for creating
4:15
Speaker 1: that memory with me. Do you know how much that's
4:17
Speaker 1: going to make someone's day to hear that, Like, my
4:19
Speaker 1: friends have done that with me, and it literally like
4:22
Speaker 1: has me laughing out loud, It has me like, it's
4:24
Speaker 1: just it's fucking the best. So I highly recommend you
4:27
Speaker 1: do that. So you've got to ask yourself, what can
4:30
Speaker 1: I uniquely bring into someone's life where I'm providing value,
4:34
Speaker 1: where therefore I feel more valuable, Okay, because that's just
4:39
Speaker 1: how it is. Unfortunately, you know, I don't within a
4:43
Speaker 1: you know, obviously rapists aside, but everyone has roughly the
4:48
Speaker 1: same value. It's not like I think that there are
4:50
Speaker 1: people that are less worthy than other people. But you
4:53
Speaker 1: are definitely going to be more worthy to an individual
4:57
Speaker 1: versus someone else. Like if I've got someone in my
4:59
Speaker 1: life life that never gives a fuck, doesn't ever like
5:02
Speaker 1: ask questions, doesn't ever check in, doesn't know their value
5:06
Speaker 1: in my life. So like, obviously within you know, within
5:10
Speaker 1: the parameters of my perspective is going to be lower
5:14
Speaker 1: than my best friend, right, And so you've got to
5:17
Speaker 1: think where is my value in the lives of people
5:19
Speaker 1: around me that I care about and in my own life? Okay,
5:22
Speaker 1: So you've got to think what you know? Is it empathy?
5:26
Speaker 1: Is it support? Is it you know, reliability? What makes
5:30
Speaker 1: you worthy in the people that you loves life? What
5:33
Speaker 1: makes you irreplaceable? And also to yourself? What makes you
5:37
Speaker 1: worthy to you? Okay? What can I do for myself
5:40
Speaker 1: that I'm like, Fuck, I'm so glad I did that
5:42
Speaker 1: for myself. I'm so glad I did that for my
5:44
Speaker 1: future self. I'm so glad I enrolled in that thing
5:46
Speaker 1: or tried that thing or did that thing. Okay, sense
5:55
Speaker 1: the next one? Number two is to actually give a shit.
5:58
Speaker 1: Actually give a shit. Okay, so this is listen when
6:03
Speaker 1: someone's talking, remember the details, ask follow up questions. Okay,
6:09
Speaker 1: care about someone's stories. And this is a really hard one,
6:12
Speaker 1: but read the room and try and figure out when
6:15
Speaker 1: I should intervene with my version of that story or
6:18
Speaker 1: when it's just time to listen to that story. Because
6:22
Speaker 1: I think everyone's like, oh my god, it's just an
6:24
Speaker 1: ADHD thing where I have to tell my side of
6:26
Speaker 1: the story in order. I think it extends further than ADHD.
6:29
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people think, myself included that
6:33
Speaker 1: when someone's telling a story, I want to share my
6:35
Speaker 1: story so we feel connected. And to an extent, it's
6:37
Speaker 1: very true. It is a way of connecting. But read
6:40
Speaker 1: the room. If someone's telling like a really hard story
6:43
Speaker 1: where they're emotional and where they're upset, now is not
6:46
Speaker 1: the time. A bit later on for sure, so they
6:48
Speaker 1: can see how you dealt with that same thing, but
6:50
Speaker 1: this is the time to be like, I can be
6:52
Speaker 1: their shoulder to cryn I can be the person that
6:54
Speaker 1: they can vent to. I can be their safe space,
6:56
Speaker 1: their vulnerable space. I can provide that for them. And
6:59
Speaker 1: then when we leave this interaction, they're going to be like, Wow,
7:02
Speaker 1: someone actually cares for me, someone actually loves me when
7:05
Speaker 1: I'm going through this really hard time. If it's like
7:07
Speaker 1: a more light hearted story, share your fucking light hearted
7:10
Speaker 1: story too. I love that shit. Now. The next thing
7:13
Speaker 1: is when we talk about giving a shit still in
7:16
Speaker 1: Number two is when we start to care. That starts
7:21
Speaker 1: to build oxytocin. It starts to build on this like
7:25
Speaker 1: bonding chemical. The more you start to feel bonded with
7:30
Speaker 1: the people around you and with your relationship with yourself,
7:33
Speaker 1: the calmer you feel, the lower your stress levels, the
7:35
Speaker 1: lower your anxiety levels. Okay, so all these things are
7:38
Speaker 1: contributing on a chemical level to how you start to
7:42
Speaker 1: feel anxiety. And you know, low self respect and low
7:46
Speaker 1: self love go hand in hand, Okay, because you're always
7:49
Speaker 1: second guessing yourself, you're always doubting yourself. So it's really, really,
7:52
Speaker 1: really important. It's fucking crucial that you do things that
7:56
Speaker 1: are going to change your brain on a chemical level
7:58
Speaker 1: as well. Okay. Number three, respect your body and mind.
8:04
Speaker 1: So self respect is shown through actions. Yesterday we spoke
8:10
Speaker 1: about negative self talk and conversations that we have with ourselves.
8:13
Speaker 1: But I think The biggest pillar of self respect is
8:17
Speaker 1: in the actions of how you treat yourself. Okay, how
8:21
Speaker 1: are you following through with how you said you were
8:23
Speaker 1: going to treat yourself? Okay? What are you doing for
8:26
Speaker 1: your sleep? What are you doing to fuel yourself properly?
8:29
Speaker 1: What kind of foods are you putting into your body?
8:31
Speaker 1: And I'm not some nutrition nutrition experts saying I'm the
8:35
Speaker 1: last person. Maybe not the last person, but I'm like
8:38
Speaker 1: the middle ground person that you would go to talk
8:40
Speaker 1: about these things. But within reason? Am I fucking hydrating myself?
8:45
Speaker 1: Am I having a bit of a balanced diant? If
8:47
Speaker 1: I've gone and eaten shit for the last three days?
8:50
Speaker 1: Love that so much for me? Good times? What am
8:52
Speaker 1: I going to do over the next three days? Maybe
8:54
Speaker 1: you throw in a fucking some vitamins and a salad, Like,
8:57
Speaker 1: just what am I doing? That's showing like, Oh, I'm
8:59
Speaker 1: actually caring for my body? I'm actually am I eating protein?
9:03
Speaker 1: Can't like? Am I eating protein? Because if you're not
9:06
Speaker 1: eat some protein? Okay? Things like that. You know, another
9:10
Speaker 1: thing that you can do is well physically move your
9:14
Speaker 1: body is one of the best things you can do
9:15
Speaker 1: for your mental health. But also boundaries. How am I
9:18
Speaker 1: setting boundaries with other people physically and psychologically? What am
9:22
Speaker 1: I doing to respect my body, my mind, myself? Okay?
9:27
Speaker 1: Another one is, you know, not putting up with an
9:31
Speaker 1: unsolicited comment, not putting up with being mistreated if someone
9:35
Speaker 1: and you know, like and when I talk about setting boundaries,
9:37
Speaker 1: I've got whole episodes on that. So I don't want
9:38
Speaker 1: to dive into date because then this is going to
9:40
Speaker 1: extend way past the fifteen twenty minute mark. But one
9:44
Speaker 1: of the things that you can people think are boundaries
9:46
Speaker 1: this really difficult thing where they've got to be this
9:48
Speaker 1: really confident person and they don't have the confidence. But
9:51
Speaker 1: a boundaries simply if you can't, if you don't have
9:54
Speaker 1: anything to say, if you're like I just don't have
9:56
Speaker 1: the balls to stand up, it's just removing yourself from
9:59
Speaker 1: a situation that's not right for you. Okay, you don't
10:02
Speaker 1: even have to explain yourself if you don't feel comfortable.
10:04
Speaker 1: But it's like this is the time for me to leave,
10:06
Speaker 1: or it's saying I'm not going to be able to
10:08
Speaker 1: make it tonight, thank you so much for the invite,
10:11
Speaker 1: And you don't have to explain the reason I don't
10:13
Speaker 1: want to be here is because you always fucking put
10:14
Speaker 1: me down and I cannot handle this today. Okay. Now,
10:17
Speaker 1: the last thing that I want you to do is
10:19
Speaker 1: focus on ways that you can always keep growing. Okay.
10:24
Speaker 1: The more you grow mentally physically, well it's in like
10:28
Speaker 1: you know, physical skills that you can grow on, the
10:31
Speaker 1: happier you are going to be. It's one of my
10:33
Speaker 1: three pillars of happiness, growth, connection and purpose. Growth growth, growth,
10:35
Speaker 1: growth growth. If we can always focus on how we
10:37
Speaker 1: are growing, then we are always going to feel like
10:40
Speaker 1: a level of satisfaction within our lives. Ask yourself, like,
10:44
Speaker 1: what are things where I can improve on that's going
10:47
Speaker 1: to equal growth. Healthier habits within my life, whether it's
10:49
Speaker 1: behavioral habits or like eating habits, New skills, better relationships,
10:54
Speaker 1: like really focus on building where relationships is that I'm
10:57
Speaker 1: I'm moving to this other country and seek I promise
11:01
Speaker 1: myself I'm going to have conversational level of that language
11:03
Speaker 1: in that timeframe. So every day you're doing an hour
11:06
Speaker 1: an hour and a half towards that language, You're going
11:09
Speaker 1: to feel fucking good about yourself. You're going to be
11:11
Speaker 1: able to tick off all these things. Okay, so I
11:15
Speaker 1: want you to track where you can improve and where
11:17
Speaker 1: you can keep expanding. This idea of for a growth
11:20
Speaker 1: mindset as well makes you more likely to tackle bigger things,
11:24
Speaker 1: to do harder things in your life. It makes you
11:26
Speaker 1: more likely to actually follow through with hard things. I've
11:30
Speaker 1: got a whole episode on growth mindset versus fixed mindset.
11:33
Speaker 1: Please go check it out, because it literally shows you
11:35
Speaker 1: that when we have this growth mindset, we are up
11:38
Speaker 1: to a challenge, we're okay with failing, We're likely to
11:41
Speaker 1: stick something out a lot longer, and we're likely to
11:43
Speaker 1: feel a lot happier within ourselves regardless of the outcome,
11:46
Speaker 1: but just because of the effort that we've put into something. Okay,
11:49
Speaker 1: So every day, morning, night, whenever you want, I want
11:54
Speaker 1: you to do this daily practice. Very simple. Number One,
11:56
Speaker 1: ask yourself, am I providing value to myself, to someone else,
11:59
Speaker 1: to the world? Like? Where and how am I providing value?
12:02
Speaker 1: Number two? Do I actually demonstrate that I give a
12:05
Speaker 1: shit about others? Sometimes we get so wrapped up in
12:07
Speaker 1: what's going on in our lives that we're like, I
12:09
Speaker 1: don't think i've checked in with anyone yet. Maybe it's
12:12
Speaker 1: maybe I should check in because when you do something
12:14
Speaker 1: for someone else, it actually feels good for yourself. Okay,
12:18
Speaker 1: Am I respecting my body and mind? And if so,
12:22
Speaker 1: how and if not? How could I be today? Something little?
12:25
Speaker 1: What's something little that shows that I respect? And Number
12:28
Speaker 1: four based on my actions, based on my answers of
12:31
Speaker 1: the last three questions, what can I improve today? Is
12:35
Speaker 1: it one thing? Is it? Three things? Is that I'm
12:37
Speaker 1: going to reach out to a friend, and I'm also
12:39
Speaker 1: not going to be on my phone for the last
12:41
Speaker 1: hour of the day, and I'm going to do twenty
12:43
Speaker 1: minutes of this language that I want to learn, Like
12:45
Speaker 1: what little things that I can do where I can
12:47
Speaker 1: start focusing on all the different points that I've hit today. Okay,
12:53
Speaker 1: but basically the main thing is that self love is
12:55
Speaker 1: something that only you can provide for yourself obviously, same
12:58
Speaker 1: as self respect. All right, that is all for today's episode.
13:01
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for tuning in and listening, and
13:04
Speaker 1: as always, remember becond to yourself, becond to your brain,
13:06
Speaker 1: don't take shit from anyone, and especially don't take shit
13:09
Speaker 1: from yourself from don't care
